 | | Orthodox Jewish All Stars: With Alex Clare, Joe Lieberman, Faye Kellerman and More! |
|
Senator Joseph Lieberman, Billboard Top 10 Recording Artist Alex Clare, NYtimes best-selling author Faye Kellerman, professional boxer Dmitriy Salita, basketball star Tamir Goodman, former HBO senior writer/producer Jamie Geller, YouTube a capella sensation The Maccabeats, former U.S. Supreme Court law clerk and founder of non-profit breast cancer support group Rochelle Shoretz, comedian Mendy Pellin, and Rhodes scholar Miriam Rosenbaum are among 10 individuals featured in the newest Jew in the City video: "Orthodox Jewish All Stars."
This is the inaugural class of Jew in the City's Top 10 Orthodox Jewish All Stars-individuals who have reached the pinnacle of their respective fields while maintaining a religiously observant lifestyle. This list showcases ten of the most successful Orthodox Jews in recent times, of both sexes, in a variety of professions, which Jew in the City hopes will help debunk the myth that all Orthodox men are rabbis and that all Orthodox women are homemakers who are prohibited to work outside the home. These incredible individuals are representative of thousands more who are balancing professional success and religious observance every day, often out of the spotlight. Many people outside of the Orthodox world do not realize that it's possible to lead a spiritually committed life without sacrificing professional success. Jew in the City hopes that these Orthodox Jewish All Stars will serve as role models to people of all religious backgrounds as to how professional success and spiritual success need not be mutually exclusive.
